Getting called out
Getting called out
In one of our morning conversations, my girlfriend said to me “Boy you are fast to call people out”
I responded by saying one of my favorite quotes “If you don't want anyone to talk bad about you, don't do shitty things”
That basically says it all. If you do something shitty, well then, you run the risk of getting called out.
I put all my shit out there. I am who I am. And if I do something crappy then you have the right to call me out. I will apologize for my behavior, and I will look at what I did and I will try to learn from it and try never to repeat the mistake.
I know we are all human, and we all make mistakes, but you need to be grown enough to own your shit.
It takes a lot for me to call you out, and I have only called out one person by name throughout all the years in writing this blog. That was really a public service announcement to other women warning them about Mr. Con Artist. I didn't want any other women to go through what I went through with him.
But if you know me, you probably know who I am talking about, or if I hit a nerve, maybe it's because it hits too close to home for you.
I remember when my girlfriend was going through a lot in her life. Her dad was dying, and I asked a bunch of our “friends” from church to help her out so she would be able to stay home with her dying father and not worry about her bills. These were people she helped out over and over and over.
Out of the 50 people I asked, only like 5 people stepped up to help out. These were our closest friends. Everyone else was supposed to be “Christians, yes, church people” yet only 5 stepped up. So, yes, I called the rest of them out. This was the least “Christian” thing I ever saw. You knew her. She helped out each and every one of you out at one time or another. You know she's struggling. Her father is dying, and you can't give up 1 Starbucks coffee for the week to help her. Seriously? So yes, I will call your so-called "Christian" self out.
No, I don't feel bad. You can't be on your box shouting you're a good Christian and pointing fingers at others and then turning your back on a so-called friend. Sorry it doesn't work that way.
You can't think you're better than another person while you're stabbing them in the back. You can't say you're a friend and then talk about that person behind their back. It doesn't work that way.
So today, my friends, I get that we are all human, and we all make mistakes but grow up and own your shit. Apologize, help a person out, do the right thing, and then you won't have to be worried about getting called out.
